Best Public Schools in Burley, ID

Summary:

The city of Burley, Idaho is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout high-performing schools and others struggling significantly.

At the top of the pack is Dworshak Elementary School, which ranks 3 out of 5 stars on SchoolDigger and boasts the highest proficiency rates in math (55.3%) and English language arts (60.7%) compared to the Cassia County Joint District and state averages. In contrast, Cassia Junior/Senior High School stands out for its very low performance, ranking in the bottom 5% of Idaho high schools with a dismal 4-year graduation rate of only 43.9% and a shockingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 49.6%.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes. Schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Mountain View Elementary and Cassia Junior/Senior High, also tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. The district's alternative school, Mini-Cassia Online Learning Academy, also struggles with very low performance, suggesting the need for the district to re-evaluate its approach to supporting students in alternative settings.
